"A modern Asian restaurant that will be open on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, offering dim sum options like beef gyoza and chicken bao buns, dishes such as drunken noodles and American-Chinese entrees like General Zao chicken, plus a wide array of sushi rolls and nigiri." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Taking part in the Take a Bite Out of Hate fundraiser, the restaurant will donate a share of its sales to ADL Michigan on the event date and asks diners to mention the event when ordering so their purchase supports the organization’s anti-hate work." - Monica Williams
"I sampled Zao Jun in Bloomfield, a pan-Asian spot from chef Lloyd Roberts offering dishes such as Mandarin bang chicken served family-style, maki rolls, Thai mango salad, and tom gai soup." - Erin Perkins
"Opening Monday, May 6, a 184-seat pan-Asian restaurant from the team behind Adachi in Birmingham will debut at 6608 Telegraph Rd. in Bloomfield. Zao Jun, named for the Chinese Kitchen God and helmed by executive chef Lloyd Roberts (who previously worked at international Nobu restaurants) and general manager David Kraus, features a menu that touches on Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Korean, and Indonesian cuisines — expect family-style Mandarin bang chicken as well as maki rolls, Thai mango salad, and tom gai soup. The restaurant will include a full bar and patio seating. The project was originally a collaboration between local developers Kenny Koza and Clint Mansour and East Coast chef Michael Schlow, although Schlow abruptly severed his partnership earlier this month." - Brenna Houck
"Planned as a pan-Asian concept billed more specifically as a casual American-Chinese restaurant in Bloomfield, Zao Jun is on track to open in early May at 6608 Telegraph Rd.; Lloyd Roberts, who is chef at Adachi, is expected to serve as executive chef at Zao Jun. Michael Schlow had been involved with the project but has amicably severed his partnership with developers Clint Mansour and Kenny Koza." - Brenna Houck
